New York's primary election was underway on Thursday when a late-breaking endorsement from Cardi B came into play. The democratic gubernatorial race is between incumbent Andrew Cuomo, who is seeking reelection for a third term, and the progressive newcomer and former Sex In The City actress Cynthia Nixon, who won Cardi's allegiance.
